They're very different to my eye (hue, size and shape). I know as earrings they will not be as obvious but it would bother me personally. That said, you're the one wearing them so you need to be OK with it.I bought these pandora earrings and I had a hard time to pick the right pair. Would it bother you that the pearls look different?

They don't look very well matched for shape or luster. While it won't be noticeable when worn, it would bother me, especially if I paid a lot for them.I bought these pandora earrings and I had a hard time to pick the right pair. Would it bother you that the pearls look different?

Personally I like keshi pearls (irregular shape) so it won't bother me regarding the shape.I bought these pandora earrings and I had a hard time to pick the right pair. Would it bother you that the pearls look different?

Unfortunately, my mother was the one who was sick & has since passed away at age 93. She had a long full life & can now rest in peace. Thank you for your kind words.Gorgeous pieces! Congratulations! I hope your family member is on the road to recovery

Very cool ring! And I never knew akoyas could come in blue. Special indeed.I just got a new pearl ring and had to show it off here because I think it's really unique and I love it! The centers are 8mm natural blue Akoyas. The pearls were from Andrew Moline and I knew I wanted blues, I had been looking passively for my perfect round blues for ~4 years, but then once I got these I could't decide what to do with them. I wouldn't be able to see them as earrings and nothing really inspired me, but then a ring was suggested and I took off with that! The ring was made by Sean Gilson, inspired by a ring he had made for Assael using all white Akoyas. For reference, this was made in size 7.75. I believe the smallest pearls are 4.5mm.
Here are some of the WIP photos:
